Coach Kelly’s 12 Ways to help you stay on the healthy track

Energy Fitness Coaching - Taking you were you want to go in your health and fitness pursuits!



At Energy Fitness Coaching we believe in being healthy!  If your goal is to lead a fuller, happier lifestyle through fitness and wellness, then Energy Fitness Coaching is for you!

Achieving this comes down to 2 main components:

1. Food quality and quantity


2. Activity level

It’s that simple! There are no magic pills or diets. It’s based on consumption and output! You can be fit, active and healthy through eating and exercise.



The first step begins with what you put in your mouth everyday. We do not believe in the word "Diet" per se as it has a rather negative connotation. However; we do believe in quality food consumption in smaller quantities frequently throughout the day. Appropriately proportioned meals should be balanced with carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats to keep you energized and supplied with adequate nutrients so you can focus throughout your day. Quality meals prevent fluctuation in attention and energy while allowing your body to absorb the nutrients more efficiently. Don’t worry, it’s not complicated. We’ll show you how to make it super easy! We also would be happy to recommend a nutritionist or dietitian if you would like!



The next step is being active. Don’t think of Exercise as some boring, mundane task! Instead, think of the E in Exercise for Enjoyment (now I can’t take all the credit for that- that is from a great sports nutritionist and author, Nancy Clark). Now also think of the E in Exercise for Energy (now I can take credit for that, Kelly Wissolik, creator of Energy Fitness Coaching  ). That is what we are all about!  We believe and know Exercise will give you more Energy!

At Energy Fitness Coaching, we show you how to add activity, build muscle, burn calories and get fit or stay fit. As a result you will have more energy, gain muscle tone, and lose body fat!



My goal is to coach you on how to enhance your life and total well-being through eating quality food and enjoying being active. This in turn will provide you with more energy and concentration allowing you to be more productive, positive, and healthy, so you can lead a fuller, happier lifestyle!



Here are 12 Ways to help you stay on the "healthy track"

1. Be flexible

Have an eating and exercise plan but understand things come up so stay positive and if you get off track, just jump back on as soon as you can!



2. Politely pass on food that is not on your plan

You don’t have to be rude at a party or at a friend’s home, but you can be prepared with better food options. Pack snacks and stay hydrated!



3. Skip the mindless snacking or stress snacking

1 or 2 little nibbles here and there really add up. Plan snacks and meals so you are sustained throughout the day but skip the little candies and "freebees" at the office. When you are stressed, go for a quick bit of fresh air instead of reaching for comfort foods. Even moving the body for a quick walk and taking a drink of water can help prevent the reach for unneeded food!



4. Give those closest to you a game plan

Seek support in family and friends to help you stay on track!

"It would be helpful for me if..."

"But please don’t...."

Open communication is Key! Motivation and encouragement from others can help you stay on track!



5. Practice eating smaller, more frequent meals

This will help with steady energy and concentration, while allowing better food assimilation and absorption.



6. Don’t feel obligated to be apart of "the clean plate club"

Eat until you are satisfied, not stuffed!



7. Eat with awareness

Enjoy your food, don’t rush it. It takes about 20 minutes for the brain to sense that your stomach is full.



8. Portion control

You can have your favorite foods if you watch your portions. It’s better than depriving yourself and splurging later.



9. If you don’t love what you are eating, don’t finish it! Just stop eating it!

Sometimes we eat just because it’s there. Sometimes we eat socially. Find a cool, low calorie beverage instead or take the time to find something else and enjoy the taste!



10. Post notes and reminders to help you stay on track

Having little sticky notes around to keep your goals fresh in sight can help you choose wisely.



11. Get moving

Initiating exercise may be difficult sometimes, but after about 10 minutes you usually feel better! As you stick with it, you will continue to feel better and you will be burning calories, building muscles and revving up your metabolism all while increasing the " feel" good hormones!



12. Celebrate small accomplishments

Treat yourself to new workout gear and massages for staying on track! Reward yourself with things to keep you going strong rather than rewarding with food!



Now you are on your way to a Healthier You! Enjoy!
